Hi, Having just (more or less) installed Debian 3 on to a Toshiba 205CDS I thought my experience might throw some light on your problems. My machine Pentium90 . Added memory module to give 40Mb total. Original 800Mb drive upgraded to a fairly new IBM 5Gb. Xircom 56k pcmca modem and D-Link DFE650 10/100M pcmcia NIC.
I've got 48MB RAM, Pentium 133/MMX, 6GB Fujitsu disk, PCMCIA 56k modem, but no NIC...I hope to get a NIC soon, and max the RAM at 128MB...
I started installing from the July APC mag cover discs, but found that while the kernel installed from the CD successfully, the moment I started adding packages with either tasksel or dselect things started going haywire
Same version I'm trying to install...same issues...
went back to square 1; installed the kernel and then loaded all the packages into apt using the ftp.nz.debian.org and http://security.debian.org sites. I have it running successfully with kde, gFTP, vnc, apache, mysql and php running (up to a point).
Sadly I cannot tie up my phone line, so it has to be a CD install unless I win Lotto and get ADSL...once I get a NIC I will try network install from my Mandrake 9.1 Terminator 1100...
Kind regards,
Chris Wilkinson, Christchurch.
